There are many advantages to adjusting the seat to the back, which can not only be safer, but also allow us to sit more comfortably, and it is not easy to get tired when driving long distances. What are the benefits of the seat back
Let's talk about safety first, as we all know, there is something called an airbag in the middle of the steering wheel, once an accident occurs, 280km/h, it is almost the speed of the high-speed rail, and it will pop off like this.
The thickness of the main driving airbag is generally about 230mm, of course, the value is not absolute, the size of the model is different, and the size of the airbag at the time of design is also different.
Properly put the seat back, we are more than 230mm away from the steering wheel, and we can also try to avoid the airbag causing us secondary damage, which is called "headshot" in the local language.
Especially for some novice friends, the distance around the car is not well grasped, in order to see the front of the car clearly, the seat is adjusted very far forward, as if hugging, lying on the steering wheel to drive, the steering wheel as a pillow, in fact, quite dangerous.
Moreover, the seat is relatively backward and tilted a little, which can actually make us sit more comfortably, mainly related to the lumbar spine load.
Referring to the third lumbar spine load data chart, assuming that the upright load is set to 50, then when the person sits upright and arches his back, the body will be subjected to more than 0 pressure, and the load will be less than 0 only when lying on the back.
Therefore, if the seat back is tilted back properly, not only will the waist and neck be more comfortable, but the headrest will not be against our head. Steps to adjust the seat properly
Although the seat is more comfortable a little back, it is not as good as possible to sit in the back, and if you sit too far, the accelerator and brake are not smooth, or even out of reach, so it is not necessary.
How do I adjust the seat? Here is also a common method.
Everyone is tall, short, fat and thin, and they want a little salt to adjust their own taste.
First of all, adjust the cushion, put the cushion back as far as possible, and adjust it to the end when the right foot pedals to the end, the thighs and calves are still a little bent, do not straighten, just right.
It is equivalent to making sure that there is no problem with the pedal to be stepped on, and the pedal is pedaled to the end.
Then adjust the height of the cushion to ensure that the field of view is not affected, and then find the height that you feel comfortable with.
Because some friends like to have a better vision, and some friends like the feeling of sinking their hips, depending on their preferences, some want a sense of the road, and some want a vision, right?
Then, adjust the angle of the backrest, it will be more comfortable to tilt slightly, and the headrest will not protrude forward against our head.
It is important to note here that the height of the headrest should also be adjusted, and the back of the head can be pillow just enough to the center of the headrest.
If it's too high or too low, it won't necessarily protect our neck in the event of an accident.
Finally, adjust the position of the steering wheel according to the range of motion of both hands.
Push the lever under the steering wheel down, adjust the height, front and back, left and right, and it is more comfortable when you hit the direction significantly.
This method is basically OK for different cars, even if you are driving someone else's car or a company's car temporarily, you can find a comfortable sitting position relatively quickly.
There is also a driving in spring, the temperature difference between morning and evening is relatively large, the thickness of wearing a coat is different from not wearing a coat, and the feeling of sitting is not the same.
You can also use this method to fine-tune it a little before you drive off, don't wait until you hit the road, "ouch" is uncomfortable here, while holding the steering wheel, while adjusting the seat, it is dangerous.
